Well, I have no idea how all these chapter will ultimately fit together, but they just keep flowing out of me, so I just keep writing them!!! It is weird...I have always heard authors talk about their characters as if they were real people that they had loved. I am actually getting a sense of that. Some characters are still undeveloped, but the ones that are developing are coming to life for me, and I am seeing them as actual people. Writing today's chapter, I actually felt empathy for the character, as though he was actually a person actually dealing with this tragic situation. Neat! Here is a piece of it:
He was suddenly aware of how large and strong his hands were. And he thought, regretfully,
of how they had not been strong enough to hold on to his wife. He thought of how this monstrous illness had hands more powerful than his, and he had to hold back the surge of fury that rose up in him.
